Export to PDF format

PDF is a vector image format popularised by Adobe Acrobat. Many print shops will prefer PDF format if you want to print the Floor Plan, Table Chart , Guest Chart or Stationery pane to poster size. For example, to export the Floor Plan pane as a PDF:

1.Select File>Export, the Export window will appear.

2.Select floor plan to PDF/PNG/JPG/BMP image file.

3.Click OK, the Export Floor Plan window will appear.

4.Select the file type as PDF, choose a file name and location and click Save, the Export PDF window will appear.
